Sleek, graceful, and athletic the Shorthair Pointer comes in a variety of colors. These color range from liver to orange and you can find Shorthair Pointer with a number of varying patterns on their coats. They may also be lemon (shades of yellow commonly used to describe dogs) as well as black and chocolate brown. The various patterns on their coats are known as ticking and may range from small spots to large areas.

However, the Shorthair Pointer can also serve as a great watchdog. Strangers approaching the house will be greeted with a wicked bark, alerting you of their presence. If you want it to stop upon your say so, train it to do so.

This pet is highly intelligent and learns fast, so educating it is easy. It has the tendency to develop unwanted behavior, which should be dealt with at an early age. Behavioral lessons should be implemented first before teaching it any tricks. Both should begin at an early age and be consistent through out its life.
